Opinions AV recievers under 1000 new or used


I am looking at the Denon 1082/3802/3803, B&K 202, Outlaw 1050, maybe Rotel, etc. I know there are lots of split threads on this topic. I dont suppose there is anyone with experience with all these;)

For me Music sound is extremely important and the reciever must be able to forcefully handle 4ohm loads.

I like the outlaw and the B&K but they dont have component video connects:(

Any suggestions? I would like to spend around $700 or less if I can.

Thanks

I have both the Denon 3802 and the Marantz SR18EX, and the
Marantz overall is the better sound for both music and HT.
I'm thinking of replacing the Denon because the difference
is just too great to be enjoyable. Any upgrade in power
cords and interconnects reaped greater benefits with the
Marantz. I looked at the B&K307 before buying the Marantz
and personally liked the sound of the Marantz better.
